[i] Cask at The Briar Rose?, JDW, Temple Hill, Birmingham 01-12-07[/i] Poured black with merest of heads. Intensely bitter and roasted coffee are very much the hallmarks of this beer but it was nice all the same, also quite dry and unlike others I thought that the alcohol wasn’t too bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 28/9/07. This was previously brewed at 4.5% ABV. An amber bitter with a slight, off-white head. The aroma started with a touch of malt before some earthy hops. The flavour was also slightly malty before a bitter finish. Not the most memorable of beers, but perfectly drinkable.
